The only African species wiiicb Gueiiee puts into his genus Piinftgra, and that 

 the second group is sa.airin, which he compares with, and considers to be ])robalil\- 

 a form of, the common European Panaf/ra pelniria {Lozogrnvivia). All the rest 

 belong to one or otlier of the Australian genera of Oenochromidae. The African 

 species, which is here put forward under the new generic terra of Panagropsis, has 

 the c? antennae pectinated, and the radial of the hindwing present; but is devoid of 

 the tufts of hair on the underside of the hindwings, which occur in the Australian 

 genus Nearcha Meyr., the species of which have, like Panagropsis, pectinated 

 antennae in the d. 



Dolerophyle gen. nov. 



Forewings elongated, ample ; costa strongly curved from liase to apex, 

 which is sharp and slightly produced ; hindmargin oblique, and curved just 

 before the anal angle. Hindwings oblong, the costal and inner margins being 

 nearly parallel; hindmargin slightly curved. Antennae (cj) curved, with very 

 fine pectinations (or long ciliations), gradually decreasing to apex; palpi porrect, 

 weak ; tongue present ; legs long and weak ; hind tibiae with four spurs. 

 Neuration as in Achlm-ti Guen. 



Type : Dolerophyle nerisariii, Wlk. {Oxydid). 



Superficially this insect reminds one of Oxydia, hui the whole structure is 

 much weaker. 



The synonymy of the only species is as follows : — 



Dolerophyle nerlsnria.

Achlora Guen. 



Of the five species which Guenee placed under Achlora he knew the J of 

 one only — viz., cuprearia : of which he describes the antennae as finely and 

 shortly pectinated, and draws attention to the tuft of hair on the underside of 

 the hindwings in this sex. He also implies that the palpi in the ? have a very 

 much longer terminal joint than in the S. Both perlgearia Guen. and cupreana 

 Guen. agree in these points ; a third species, almost certainly Hiibner's injunctaria, 

 is without the tuft of hair; all these three species have the lines and discal 

 spots well marked on the under.side. Guenee's other two species belong to quite 

 another genus ; cf. Pycnmieuru Warr. 



As Guenee knew the S of cuprciiria only, I propose to name that species 

 as the type of the genus. 



Dolichoneura gen. nov. 



This genus resembles Pycnoneam Warr., but the shape of wing and neuration 

 is the same in both sexes, resembling that of the ? of Pycnmieura. There is 

 no thickening, nor contortion of the veins of the hindwings in the (J.
